POLICE are hunting for a teenager who stabbed a man that tried to tackle him when he burgled his home.
The attack happened after 2pm on Saturday while the 28-year-old victim was working on his laptop in a ground floor room of his house in Amberley Road, Haymill.
The man saw the intruder escaping through the patio doors with his laptop.
He chased the burglar into the back garden and tried to detain him.
The burglar dropped the laptop but stabbed the man in the leg with what police are describing as ‘an unknown implement’ before running away.
The man later discovered that his wallet containing cash was also missing.
The victim was taken to hospital where he received treatment for a stab wound in his thigh.
Officers have released a description of the burglar who is a white boy and believed to be 16-years-old. He is between 5ft 5ins to 5ft 7ins, skinny, with light blond hair cropped short and shaved at the sides.
He wore a short sleeved navy blue T-shirt, black tracksuit bottoms and a thin gold neck chain, and is believed to have a local accent.
